TRegistry.OpenKeyReadOnly Method

Opens a specified key in a read-only manner.

Pascal

function OpenKeyReadOnly(const Key: String): Boolean;

C++

__fastcall Boolean OpenKeyReadOnly(const AnsiString Key);

Description

Call OpenKeyReadOnly to make a specified key the current key. Key is the name of the key to open. If Key is nil (Delphi) or NULL (C++), the CurrentKey property is set to the key specified by the RootKey property.

Key is opened with the security access value KEY_READ.

OpenKey returns true if the key is successfully opened and CurrentKey is set to the key.

Note: After a successful call to OpenKeyReadOnly the Access property of the registry component is automatically changed to KEY_READ, regardless of what that property was set to prior to the method call.
